In the morning, they met <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubaiie.gov.ae\/Default\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dubai Industries and Exports<\/a> CEO Saed Alawadi, Dubai Investment Development Agency (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dubaifdi.gov.ae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FDI<\/a>) senior executive Humaid Al Nuaimi and Dubai Exports exporter services director Abdelrahman Al Hosani. These are both government agencies in the emirate that focus on exports and investments.<\/p>\n<p>Alawadi said it\u2019s always good to boost bilateral trade between the countries and stressed how relations with ABCC made the presence of Brazil in Dubai and vice versa grow. \u201cI recall that a few years back, there were no Brazilian company in Dubai,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Chohfi expects a closer cooperation and more investments from the emirate in Brazil. \u201cWe have an extensive privatization program in the infrastructure sector, with roads and airports, and there are many fruitful investment opportunities for the United Arab Emirates in mines and energy, agriculture, and tourism industry,\u201d he said. The agriculture sector is very important for our food security,\u201d Alawadi pointed out, saying that investments in agricultural technology are on the agenda of the emirate. The CEO of Dubai Industries and Exports added that when Brazilian businesspeople bring their products to Dubai, the potential market is not limited to the UAE but extends across the entire region to include Africa and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why we opened our first international office here,\u201d Chohfi said. He mentioned the blockchain services and ABCC Lab, a startup program that the entity has developed, as examples of the ABCC\u2019s concern for modernization and digitization of its processes.<\/p>\n<p>Alawadi said he plans on resuming his annual visits to Brazil and Latin America to help and guide businesspeople interested in exporting and bring their business to the Arab country. Tamer Mansour invited the attendees to take part in the Halal Forum to take place in December in S\u00e3o Paulo as well as the Economic Forum Brazil-Arab Countries to take place next July on the day the entity turns 70. We want to boost the business volume of Brazil in the Dubai market in food and cosmetics industries,\u201d he said. \u201cWe must increase the share of the pie,\u201d Alawadi said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_301041\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-301041\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-25-at-12.19.28.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-301043\" src=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-25-at-12.19.28-300x170.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-25-at-12.19.28-300x170.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-25-at-12.19.28-768x434.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/anba.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-25-at-12.19.28.jpeg 1023w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-301041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Meeting with DP World<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The afternoon\u2019s meeting was with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpworld.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DP World<\/a>, attended by COO Mahmood Al Bastaki as well as Abdulrahman Bin Haider, head of loyalty program World Logistics Passport (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldlogisticspassport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WLP<\/a>), and Thierry Vantomme, manager of business development for the Americas.
